I can't - one because I just haven't tried yet and the other because my situation differs from yours.<br /><br />You've done something I've been slightly afraid to do but hope to do soon: Try. Not just a little. But a lot. Giving it your all.<br /><br />And you're right. Your experience will be different. Mines will differ. But we'd never know if we didn't try.<br /><br />And I encourage you to keep trying...in both respects.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408910703068503850.post-35563162215749556932012-03-19T12:46:02.167-04:002012-03-19T12:46:02.167-04:00A few of my friend had trouble conceiving and it&#...A few of my friend had trouble conceiving and it's just so SO hard and frusterating. I know few people understand how much despair is involved every month. Nothing I say can really help and I'm sure you've heard everything under the sun. But your feelings are totally normal. Express them however you can. there's no wrong way and giving up isn't the answer. You might go as far as giving up phsycially but your heart will never give up. Praying for you and hoping good things come your way soon!Creepy Query Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115161057496086972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408910703068503850.post-41173328100348551242012-03-19T10:24:25.821-04:002012-03-19T10:24:25.821-04:00I've had two friends with infertility problems...I've had two friends with infertility problems and it's so heartbreaking.

If we stop trying, then we definitely won't ever get published. Perseverance is key even when it gets really hard.

I kind of know the feeling, and I've only been trying to publish for less than 6 months. Still, I've got one MS in the drawer, and one getting ready to join it. It's damn frustrating, and I'm honestly not sure how long I can hold on. But I know you will. And I'll be at your release party with bells on.Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827971896088856057noreply@blogger.com
